Usually, I skip to the below-decks walkthrough, but, this held my breath from the beginning...I cry for the want to know how, every, line, rope/hawser works!!!
This ship has come into my harbour twice now and it’s still here. It’s amazing in person and I watched it leave the first time and watched it sail away. It’s truly an amazing looking ship ❤
Such an informative well paced faultless. 22 minute walk thru..not many would manage such a perfect intro..and you hardly sounded at all winded..thank you sir. From Canyon in Ca. Coastal-Carmel
A magnificent way of living ! Sadly at 73yo and in poor health my time has run out but I still have a strong emotional attraction to deadeyes and ratlines!
Even though she has been for sail for two years now it is good to know that Nikki still keeps her in trim shape and she is still earning her way as a charter tour vessel. Making a circumnavigation of the British Isles this year 2024.
Grand tour or a living masterpiece...your entire talk walk was darn near perfect..vocabulary terms, pause times, photography, yet your use of the word ' people' as in - you can fit a lot of people in the dining room..leaves me wanting more thought by you to pick better terms..such as - guests- staff, crew, vip's , corporate guests..not a bland word like people It goes without saying..after all..its very likely only people are likely attending supper here🐣ciao!
When I see a great Sailing craft I think of a fine peice of drift wood can be a beautiful thing . Let's you drift and let Nature take you were the water flows and the wind blows . Now that living free 😁.
Wait. Does the captain of the Bessie Ellen not own it? Or is she the one who bought the Bessie Ellen? This is before the Stern bulwarks were painted pink. Did Venturesail buy the boat?
Jim, link is in the video description, takes you to our web site with the full details and more photos of the vessel, this is her advert: woodenships.co.uk/sailing-yacht/westcountry-trading-ketch-bessie-ellen/
Not exactly built for comfort - very much an ex-working boat - which will require a massive investment in time and money to convert to that of a traditional sailing vessel.
